いいニーハイの日

According to the Japanese twitter community, the day 28th November is a special day. By pronouncing the date "1128" in numbers, the result will sound similar to いいニーハイ (iini-hai), which means nice knee-high (socks). Hence 28th November is known as いいニーハイの日 (nice knee-high socks day), and it is this day many people post pictures of "knee-highs" to go with the day.

I got flooded with a lot of such photos on my twitter timeline that day. It was only then I learned about this knee-high day. The doll shots are pretty convincing when the joints are covered up and the propotions set right, which is quite impressive work I gotta say!
